Explore the creativity of young Australians in this special online exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Australian honours system. The Australian honours system has been recognising outstanding Australians for 50 years! To celebrate the anniversary, the National Portrait Gallery and the Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor-General invited school students from across Australia to create portraits of someone in their community, and to suggest an award they would give them.
Watch the online exhibition launch, where Her Excellency the Honourable Ms Sam Mostyn AC Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia explored a selection of the portraits, and view all 444 paintings, drawings, sculptures and textiles below.
Visit us, learn with us, support us or work with us! Here’s a range of information about planning your visit, our history and more!
We depend on your support to keep creating our programs, exhibitions, publications and building the amazing portrait collection!
